You want to do ldconfig after installation.

Thanks, but it's still the same result from Kickoff. If I type gretl at the terminal, I get:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The program 'gretl' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gretl
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, note that on my system:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clive@clivubu:~/Downloads/gretl-1.9.11$ ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and only -sudo ldconfig- runs without complaint. But still no -gretl-. :(
